don't have enough weights to be able to leave what I need on the bars.
The weights that come with them are not going to be much use to you if you're a man over the age of 15,you're going to want to change up pretty quick,I bought a set of 4x5kg plates from argos and that put them on aswell as the discs provided to begin with.
Spin locks have a tendancy to undo if you are doing a movement that has any kind of swing(like standing alternate bicep curls),which can be very annoying,but doesnt happen too much if you make them tight enough.If you are doing pressing exercises they should stay on fine.However changing the plates is very quick and easy which about makes up for the undoing thing.

As said before these weights are very good, in the fact that the weights are easily removed so that you can choose the weight you want to lift. There are a few problems though, namely that the grip really hurts your hand and can rip up cheap lifting gloves. Also it is hard to come by the weights, so that you can lift over 10kg. Argos sell 5k weights but that can be too much of a jump. Altogether the weights are good if you wish to lift up to 10 and have some decent gloves.
